I paid less than $200 for a one-star hotel in a top beach destination — here's what I got for my money
How much comfort are you willing to forgo for a cheap vacation? A British tourist spent less than $200 for one night at a one-star hotel in Miami, Florida — and he took viewers along to see what he got for the very low price. Simon Wilson, who regularly shares his travel adventures on social media, posted an Instagram Reel with over 2 million views documenting his stay at the unidentified establishment in the high-end area of South Beach, where rooms regularly rent for upwards of $500 per night. 3 South Beach is notoriously expensive and one of the priciest areas in Miami. miami2you – Wilson walked into the establishment without a reservation and asked the receptionist for a room with one bed. He revealed that he had looked at reviews online, finding that they were all negative. When he asked why the hotel had such poor reviews, the worker replied only with a sly shrug. The cost of the room with one bed for one night was $149 plus tax, which came out to $184.86. On top of that, the hotel charged a $50 deposit that would be refundable at checkout. In total, Wilson had to dish out $234.86 upon arrival at the one-star hotel. The budget lodgings were revealed to have 80 rooms — and only nine of them were occupied the night Wilson showed up. When Wilson asked the receptionist about amenities, he discovered that there were none — no swimming pool, sauna, breakfast or coffee. All he was getting was the room. 'I have no idea what to expect here,' he said as he opened the door to his room on the first floor. 3 Wilson asked the receptionist, a Brazilian man named Celso, about the amenities at the hotel. @simonjwils/Instagram 'This isn't too bad,' he said. He showed viewers around the room, which included a 'lovely' and small dining table with one chair, bedside cabinets and a remote for the TV on the wall. Moving on to the bathroom, he said the shower/bath looked 'fairly clean' and pointed out that there was a decent amount of soap provided. 'The main thing and the most important thing though is the bed,' he said. 'What's this gonna look like?' After inspecting the pillows and sheets, he deemed it suitable for sleeping. 'I think we might have just had a bargain in South Beach, Miami,' Wilson declared. But people in the comments begged to differ. 'Our man was getting rinsed,' one wrote with a laughing emoji. 'Even half that price would be a rip-off,' someone else said. 'That is a hell of an expensive room considering it is very basic and not even a breakfast or a cup of coffee with it !!!!,' a commenter said. 3 'This isn't too bad,' he said as he entered the room. @simonjwils/Instagram However, many people in the comments also reasoned that the hotel seemed pricey because of its location in South Beach. 'Y'all complaining about the price, but it's expensive in Miami. If you're in South Beach, that's about what it's going to cost,' someone said. 'The price is very normal at last minute in Miami, Florida.. You can't find cheaper than that, either one star or 3 stars,' another wrote. South Beach is notoriously expensive and one of the priciest areas in Miami. According to Radical Storage, premium oceanfront hotels could cost anywhere from $400 to $1,000+ per night during high season. However, booking earlier can result in better prices for visitors. Hotel star rankings are widely used to determine a hotel's quality. In the U.S., a one-star hotel typically means there are only basic room options available with basic accommodations and minimal amenities. These hotels are more about functionality and affordability.

Banksy work 'The Migrant Child' removed from Venetian palazzo for restoration and future display
MILAN -- Art restorers have removed a deteriorating piece of graffiti by the street artist Banksy titled 'The Migrant Child' from the side of a building overlooking a Venetian canal to preserve the work for future public display, officials said Thursday. The removal from the wall of Palazzo San Pantalon was carried out in consultation with people close to the secretive British street artist, according to the Venice-based bank Banca Ifis' art program that promotes art and culture. The artwork depicting a shipwrecked child holding a pink smoke bomb and wearing a lifejacket appeared along Rio di San Pantalon in Venice in May 2019, and was acknowledged by Banksy. Marked on online maps, it has become a tourist destination. But six years of neglect had led to the deterioration of about a third of the work, the bank said. The restoration is being overseen by Federico Borgogni, who previously removed dust and cleaned the surface before detaching a section of the palazzo's facade overnight Wednesday, Banca Ifis said in a statement. The bank is financing the project, but didn't release the cost of the operation. The bank intends to display the work to the public as part of free cultural events organized by Ifis art once restoration is completed. No time frame was given.

The Gentlemen Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 24, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 24, 2025, 11:53 IST Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen hit Netflix like a stylish punch in March 2024, blending crime, comedy, and posh British chaos. If you binged Season 1, you're probably itching for more of Eddie Horniman's reluctant gangster arc and Susie Glass's razor-sharp wit. The good news? Season 2 is officially happening, with filming already underway. The bad news? You'll need a bit of patience. Let's dive into the latest on the release date, who's in the cast, and what's next for this slick crime drama. When Can We Watch Season 2? Netflix gave The Gentlemen Season 2 the green light in August 2024, and cameras started rolling in the UK in May 2025. No exact premiere date has dropped yet, but the tea leaves point to a release sometime in mid-to-late 2026. Here's why: Season 1 took about eight months to film and polish, and with Season 2 following a similar timeline, we're looking at early 2026 for post-production to wrap. Who's in the Cast? The heart of The Gentlemen is its stellar cast, and Season 2 brings back the big players: Theo James as Eddie Horniman, the soldier-turned-duke who's now knee-deep in the weed game. as Eddie Horniman, the soldier-turned-duke who's now knee-deep in the weed game. Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass, the badass running her family's cannabis empire with icy precision. as Susie Glass, the badass running her family's cannabis empire with icy precision. Daniel Ings as Freddy Horniman, Eddie's messy brother who's equal parts hilarious and disastrous. You'll also see familiar faces like: Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass, Susie's dad and the empire's puppet master. as Bobby Glass, Susie's dad and the empire's puppet master.

Supporting players like Jasmine Blackborow (Charly), Michael Vu (Jimmy Chang), Harry Goodwins (Jack), Pearce Quigley (Gospel John), and Ruby Sear. Season 2 spices things up with new faces, and it's an eclectic bunch: Hugh Bonneville ( Downton Abbey ), probably playing a classy yet shady character.

Benjamin Clementine ( Dune ), Benedetta Porcaroli ( The Leopard ), Michele Morrone ( Another Simple Favour ), Sergio Castellitto ( The Star Maker ), Amra Mallassi ( Dune: Part Two ), Tyler Conti ( Tell Me Everything ), and even Chris Eubank Jr., a pro boxer, joining the fray. These newcomers hint at bigger stakes and fresh conflicts, maybe even some international flair. What's the Story for Season 2? Season 1 left Eddie and Susie on top after outsmarting their rivals. They took down Stanley Johnston with a tax evasion play and iced out Henry Collins with Eddie's cold-blooded move. Now, Season 2 will see them running a 'more volatile empire,' per Guy Ritchie. The story's jumping from the English countryside to the Italian lakes, which screams bigger budgets and global schemes. Think European crime lords or new markets for their weed empire. Theo James has teased a 'bigger and darker' vibe, with Eddie leaning harder into his gangster side. Will he go full villain? Probably not, but the criminal world's bound to chip away at his moral compass. Susie, meanwhile, will grapple with scaling the business without diving into harder drugs, as Kaya Scodelario hinted in an interview. Their partnership—part trust, part tension, with a spark of something unspoken—will be front and center, though their clashing worlds keep them from fully syncing up. The new cast suggests wildcards, maybe enemies or allies tied to the Italian setting. With Ritchie back to write and direct alongside Matthew Read, expect more of his trademark mix: clever quips, double-crosses, and stylish brawls, but with higher stakes and a broader canvas.
